Kees e Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hello Aztec drivers, I have a KFC 200 in my 1980 F model. I’m looking at 8-12k in repairs, overhaul and recertification. I’m thinking a new autopilot is the better route at this point. Who makes the best/most capable autopilot for our Aztecs? Thank you for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerodon Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Kees, I have a complete 14V KFC200 autopilot that I will be removing from my 1980 Seneca for a GFC500 upgrade. (May as well do it now while I am installing a complete new stack). What parts do you need? The serves and controller are probably the same. The 'computer' came in different dash numbers, and a board for the flight director. I would try keeping yours going until a GFC500/600 becomes available?

But this is a Mooney forum - a Single Engine forum. When I see "F Model" I think M20. This "thing" is asking for advice on applications in a Twin of completely different manufacture. That is like someone dropping in on a classic Corvette forum and asking for Four Wheel Drive transfer case advice for an old Dodge PowerWagon.

He's probably posting it on many aviation sites looking for his answer. On here it probably should have been posted under Miscellaneous Aviation Talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help The only autopilots I'm aware of that are approved for the Aztec are the the Piper branded Altimatic (long since discontinued), the one you have (KFC200) which can still be serviced, and the STec 55x. Call @Jake@BevanAviation in Wichita for help with your KFC200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
